Building? you put up a building then you have to clean it out every 20 years or so.

It looks really good, but a building would be even better, and much
more comfortable I would think. When we got our little bandmill in
the fall of 2007 one of the main goals was to build a building to put
it and some other stuff in, but I didn't get the building done till late
summer of 2008. At the rate you work you'll have a mill building
up next week. It makes it nicer to run the mill, especially when it's
raining. By the way to you cut your own trees or buy the logs in?

Lyle,
I always try to keep my eye on your posts but I think it missed this somewhere:
1. where are you located? I remember reading something about Alaska?
2. What are you doing with your mill...selling lumber? sawing for fun?
I have always wanted my own mill and between that and your big MF I am bit by the green eyed monster.
congrats on all of your fun.

I'm really impressed with how much you accomplish in such a short time.
Here is a picture of a mill that belonged to my wife's great uncle. Somewhere around 1910.
The mills at that time were all steam powered and they were moved around to different woodlots as the logs were depleted. They always built a concrete foundation when they set up the mill.
I'm not sure whether it was where the steam engine sat or the saw mandrel. Anyway, you can run across those little concrete foundations all around through the woods here. There are 3 of them within a third of a mile from my house.
There was one on my Dad's old farm that "blew to kingdom come" when somebody replaced a melted out "soft plug" with a steel plug in the boiler.
We used to run across pieces of cast iron and steel all thru the field adjacent to where the mill sat. I think my Dad told me two men were killed in the explosion. He just barely remembered it as he was just a little kid at the time; early 1900s.
